FileMaker DevCon 2016 Las Vegas
It's been more than a month now that Troi Automatisering attended the annual FileMaker Developer Conference 2016 in Las Vegas. It was great seeing lots of old friends. And I'm amazed by how quick it all went.
Below is a small recap of the first few days, with some of the photo's I took.
Day 0: the day before DevCon
On Sunday we went to the registration. People got their badges and a rucksack. And they could add their n-th year tags to their badges:
On Sunday I also made a group photo of all the speakers of this years DevCon:
This is quite a FileMaker brain pool!
On Monday the DevCon really got started, we setup our booth first:
Luckily all our bags had arrived (unlike other years) so the booth was ready quickly. We also had a nice flyer printed, to handout to customers.

Then it was time for the Keynote presentation, where Andy LeCates, Rick Kalman and Anand Vaghela (amongst others) gave an inspiring talk about the current state (which is great!) and the future of FileMaker (which we can't discuss). Here Andy hands over the show to Rick:
At the showcase, which ran for 3 days, we met with lots of people, old customers and newbies, who we showed our range of Troi plug-ins.
To make it more visual we had a display using our Troi Serial Plug-in and FileMaker Pro 15, which hooked to an Arduino mini-computer (via USB port). It showed the current temperature at the venue, and tracked the data in FileMaker. Below you see the electronics:
It was a great success, lots of visitors tried to manipulate the temperature to a dry heat:
That’s it for now. We will cover the rest of the conference with extra photo’s in a future post.
